Valle d'Aosta Pinot Nero
Valle d'Aosta, Italy
The 2020 Pinot Nero is such a pretty and finessed varietal expression that mixes alpine herbs with wild strawberries and crushed rocks. It’s elegant with silky textures that usher in masses of lavender-tinged black cherries and spices, as juicy acidity maintains fantastic balance. The 2020 leaves a coating of fruit concentration along with sweet tannins that add a gentle grip, promising a steady evolution. That said, there is no harm in drinking this today.

The winery is located in Aymavilles with the cellar lying one mile from Monte Bianco tunnel. Ruby with aromas fresh red fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of strawberry and sweet cherry with tea and black pepper. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and spice. Nice! Drink young, no aging benefit. Good value!

Interesting Pinot Nero from the mountains of Valle D’Aosta. Red berry and baking spice aromas. Concentrated cherry and black tea flavors. Smooth tannins and medium finish. Pleasantly surprised by the QPR of this delicious Pinot.
